response to calls about South Dakota’s
annual measurable objectives (AMOs), here is an excerpt from the
state’s NCLB Accountability Workbook as approved by USDOE. This
includes the targets set for student progress for the current school year as
well as the upcoming school year; the AMOs continue to climb upwards towards
the goal of 100% in all categories in school year 2013-2014.

also be useful in planning interventions and instructional strategies for the
upcoming school year.
